The phrase "Her laughter was music to his ears" uses a metaphor to describe the quality of her laughter. It compares her laughter to "music," implying that it was pleasant and enjoyable. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

 

Option A is not the correct answer because the metaphor emphasises the pleasantness of the laughter, not its volume.

 

Option C is not the correct answer because the metaphor likens the laughter to music in general, not a specific musical instrument.

 

Option D is not the correct answer because the metaphor suggests the laughter was enjoyable, not out of tune.
